Bay Shore residents dealing with back pain after an accident, injury, or chronic condition can find expert care at Injury Recovery MD. Our specialists focus on diagnosing the root cause of your back pain and building a treatment plan that delivers real, lasting relief. We serve all of Suffolk County with same day appointments and comprehensive insurance coverage.
Why Does My Lower Back Hurt?
Lower back pain is the number one complaint we hear from patients in Bay Shore. The lower back bears the majority of your body weight and absorbs enormous force during accidents and falls. Common causes of lower back pain include lumbar disc herniations, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, facet joint irritation, lumbar sprains and strains, degenerative disc disease, and sciatica. Our specialists identify the exact source of your lower back pain using physical examination, MRI, and other diagnostic tools.
What Does a Herniated Disc Feel Like?
A herniated disc is one of the most common injuries we treat in Bay Shore patients, particularly after car accidents. A herniated disc often causes sharp or burning pain in the lower back, pain that radiates into one or both legs (sciatica), numbness or tingling in the legs or feet, weakness when walking or standing, and pain that worsens with sitting, bending, or coughing. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms after an accident, you should see a back pain specialist immediately.
Can a Chiropractor Help with Back Pain?
Chiropractic care is an effective component of back pain treatment for many patients. Our licensed chiropractors serving Bay Shore use spinal adjustments, mobilization techniques, and decompression therapy to restore proper alignment, reduce nerve compression, and relieve pain. For accident-related back injuries, chiropractic care works best as part of a multidisciplinary plan that also includes physical therapy and pain management.
Can Back Pain Cause Leg Pain?
Yes. Back pain that radiates into the leg is usually caused by a pinched nerve in the lumbar spine. This condition, called sciatica or radiculopathy, occurs when a herniated disc, bone spur, or inflamed tissue compresses a spinal nerve root. Our Bay Shore area specialists are experts at diagnosing and treating radiating back and leg pain using a combination of physical therapy, pain management, and chiropractic care.
How to Treat a Pinched Nerve in the Back
A pinched nerve requires prompt, targeted treatment to prevent permanent damage. At Injury Recovery MD, treatment options for Bay Shore patients with a pinched nerve include physical therapy to reduce pressure on the nerve, epidural steroid injections to decrease inflammation, chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal alignment, and activity modification guidance. Most pinched nerves respond well to conservative treatment when addressed early.
Is Back Pain a Workers Comp Injury?
If your back pain resulted from a workplace incident, lifting injury, repetitive strain, or fall on the job, it qualifies as a workers compensation injury. Bay Shore workers have the right to choose their own doctor for treatment. Injury Recovery MD accepts all workers compensation insurance and provides the medical documentation your case requires, including initial evaluations, treatment records, and progress reports.
Insurance Accepted
We accept all no-fault insurance, workers compensation, personal injury liens, and most major medical plans. Bay Shore patients can begin treatment immediately with minimal to no out-of-pocket costs for accident and injury-related back pain. Contact Injury Recovery MD today for a same day appointment.
